"You're STUPID. You're ALL STUPID! THIS IS STUPID!"
"*knocks over peaceful protestor* I'm a citizen just like you and you're disrupting ME."
"[To aloof cop] We're on your side. God bless. *shakes hand*"
"The officers have wives and children too!"
Just some gems from people who completely miss points and are upset that we blocked one entrance to a fucking Nordstrom.
Today was the hardest protest for me, believe it or not. I have been at colder, scarier, longer ones... but it's so disheartening to see people who genuinely do not give a fuck. I don't know how I managed to delude myself that the public couldn't be THAT unsympathetic. I guess I've been lucky that the actions I have gone to, there are people who are either supportive from the sidelines or apathetic. Not openly antagonistic and awful.
